Description

Controls screen backlight brightness from simple shell commands. It is useful on laptops or desktops where you want scripts, keyboard shortcuts, or terminal commands to change brightness without using a full settings panel.

This tool affects display hardware settings and may need the right permissions for backlight controllers. It does not add a graphical control by itself; users normally combine it with terminal usage, hotkeys, or automation scripts.
